Q2
For a metal of work function 6.6 eV , which of the following wavelengths of incident radiation does not give rise to the photoelectric effect? (Take Planck's constant as 6.6×1034 J s6.6 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~s} )
A 100 nm
B 150 nm
C 200 nm
D 50 nm
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

For incident radiation having wavelength ( λ\lambda ), photoelectric effect doesn't occur when $\frac{h c}{\lambda}

λ>hcW0λ>6.6×1034×3×1086.6×1.6×1019λ>3×1071.6λ>3001.6 nmλ=187.5 nm\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \lambda>\frac{h c}{W_0} \\ & \Rightarrow \lambda>\frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8}{6.6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \\ & \Rightarrow \lambda>\frac{3 \times 10^{-7}}{1.6} \\ & \Rightarrow \lambda>\frac{300}{1.6} \mathrm{~nm} \\ & \Rightarrow \lambda=187.5 \mathrm{~nm} \end{aligned}

∴ Option (3) 200 nm is correct.

Q3
De-Broglie wavelength of an electron orbiting in the n=2n=2 state of hydrogen atom is close to (Given Bohr radius =0.052 nm=0.052 \mathrm{~nm} )
A 1.67 nm
B 2.67 nm
C 0.067 nm
D 0.67 nm
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

The De-Broglie wavelength of an electron in the n=2n=2 state of a hydrogen atom can be calculated as follows: Firstly, calculate the radius rr for the n=2n=2 state using the Bohr radius formula: r=0.052n2 r = 0.052 n^2 For n=2n=2, the radius is: r=0.052×4=0.208nm \begin{aligned} r &= 0.052 \times 4 \\ &= 0.208 \, \text{nm} \end{aligned} We use the relationship Mvr=nh2πM v r = \dfrac{n h}{2 \pi}, leading to the expression for the De-Broglie wavelength λ\lambda: λ=hMv=πr \lambda = \dfrac{h}{M v} = \pi r Substituting the calculated rr value: λ=π×0.208nm=3.14×0.208nm=0.65317nm0.67nm \begin{aligned} \lambda &= \pi \times 0.208 \, \text{nm} \\ &= 3.14 \times 0.208 \, \text{nm} \\ &= 0.65317 \, \text{nm} \\ &\approx 0.67 \, \text{nm} \end{aligned} Thus, the De-Broglie wavelength of the electron in the n=2n=2 state is approximately 0.670.67 nm.

Q5
A photon and an electron (mass mm ) have the same energy EE. The ratio ( λphoton /λelectron \lambda_{\text{photon }} / \lambda_{\text{electron }} ) of their de Broglie wavelengths is: ( cc is the speed of light)
A c2mEc \sqrt{\dfrac{2 m}{E}}
B 1cE/2m\dfrac{1}{c} \sqrt{E / 2 m}
C E/2m\sqrt{E / 2 m}
D c2mEc \sqrt{2 m E}
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

To find the ratio of the de Broglie wavelengths of a photon and an electron when they both have the same energy EE, follow these steps: Photon Wavelength: For a photon, the energy is given by: E=hcλPh E = \dfrac{h c}{\lambda_{\mathrm{Ph}}} Where hh is Planck's constant, cc is the speed of light, and λPh\lambda_{\mathrm{Ph}} is the wavelength of the photon.

Rearranging this equation gives: λPh=hcE \lambda_{\mathrm{Ph}} = \dfrac{h c}{E} Electron Wavelength: For an electron, the energy related to its momentum is: E=p22m E = \dfrac{p^2}{2m} Where mm is the mass of the electron and pp is its momentum.

Using the de Broglie wavelength expression p=hλep = \dfrac{h}{\lambda_e}, we can write: E=(hλe)2×12m E = \left( \dfrac{h}{\lambda_e} \right)^2 \times \dfrac{1}{2m} Solving for the electron's wavelength λe\lambda_e: λe=h2mE \lambda_e = \dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}} Ratio of Wavelengths: Now, calculate the ratio of the wavelengths λPhλe\dfrac{\lambda_{\mathrm{Ph}}}{\lambda_e} as follows: λPhλe=hcEh2mE=c2mE \dfrac{\lambda_{\mathrm{Ph}}}{\lambda_e} = \dfrac{\dfrac{h c}{E}}{\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}} = c \sqrt{\dfrac{2m}{E}} This ratio equation defines the relation between the photon and electron wavelengths when both have the same energy EE.

Q6
An electron and an alpha particle are accelerated by the same potential difference. Let λe\lambda_e and λα\lambda_\alpha denote the de-Broglie wavelengths of the electron and the alpha particle, respectively, then:
A λe>λα\lambda_e>\lambda_\alpha
B λe=4λα\lambda_e=4 \lambda_\alpha
C λe=λα\lambda_e=\lambda_\alpha
D λe<λα\lambda_e<\lambda_\alpha
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

de-Broglie wavelength is given by

λ=hp=h2mqV\lambda=\frac{h}{p}=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m q V}}

For same potential difference

λ1mqλαλe=meqemαqαmαmeλe>λα\begin{gathered} \lambda \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{m q}} \\ \frac{\lambda_\alpha}{\lambda_e}=\sqrt{\frac{m_e q_e}{m_\alpha q_\alpha}} \\ \because m_\alpha \gg m_e \\ \lambda_e>\lambda_\alpha \end{gathered}
Q7
If ϕ\phi is the work function of photosensitive material in eV\mathrm{eV} and light of wavelength of numerical value λ=hce\lambda=\dfrac{h c}{e} metre, is incident on it with energy above its threshold value at an instant then the maximum kinetic energy of the photo-electron ejected by it at that instant (Take hh-Plank's constant, cc-velocity of light in free space) is (in SI units):
A e+2ϕe+2 \phi
B 2eϕ2 e-\phi
C eϕe-\phi
D e+ϕe+\phi
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

The energy of the incident light is given by:

E=hν=hcλE = h \nu = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

hh

is Planck's constant,

cc

is the speed of light, and λ\lambda is the wavelength of the light. Substituting the given value of λ\lambda, we get:

E=hchc/e=eE = \frac{hc}{hc/e} = e

The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron is given by:

KEmax=EϕKE_{max} = E - \phi

where ϕ\phi is the work function. Substituting the values, we get:

KEmax=eϕKE_{max} = e - \phi

Therefore, the correct answer is Option C .

Q8

A 13.6 nm
B 136 nm
C 1.36 nm
D 0.136 nm
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution
λe=12.27VAo=12.2781Ao=12.279Ao{\lambda _e} = {{12.27} \over {\sqrt V }}\mathop A\limits^o = {{12.27} \over {\sqrt {81} }}\mathop A\limits^o = {{12.27} \over 9}\mathop A\limits^o
=1.36Ao= 1.36\mathop A\limits^o

(\because

1Ao=1101\mathop A\limits^o = {1 \over {10}}

nm)

=0.136= 0.136

nm

Work function of

Cs ϕ0=2.14 eV,K ϕ0=2.30 eV,Na ϕ0=2.75 eV\mathrm{Cs} ~\phi_{0}=2.14 ~\mathrm{eV}, \mathrm{K} ~\phi_{0}=2.30 ~\mathrm{eV}, \mathrm{Na} ~\phi_{0}=2.75 ~\mathrm{eV}

We know that

ee^{-}

emitts when

hv>ϕ0h v>\phi_{0}

here it is clear that energy of photon is more than the work function of

Cs\mathrm{Cs}

[Caesium] only so Ans. only (Cs).
